In colors I’m various
A chameleon in change;
Through stars, crowns and diamonds
I take a wide range.
Then leaving the treasures
Of nobles and kings,
I turn me to flowers ,
And humbler things.
I’m uniform always
And that you’ll think strange;
For one so capricious,
an instant will change.
What am I?

Notice: I am concerned with the general quality of work that has been turned in the past few weeks. Some students seem to think "good enough" is just right. I put them on notice that when I see their work I expect it to be the best they can do, and that quality will count toward points. I can no longer accept shoddy workmanship.

We have decided to have an Italian luncheon on Tuesday, December 22. I will have lasagne and breadsticks. I will also provide the plates and cups, etc. I have asked the students to supplement with other items that might go well with lasagne. I'm thinking carrots, celery, fruit, treats, etc. Mrs. Nay has volunteered to help organize the table and get kids fed. Thanks Mrs. Nay.

CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD ASSIGNMENT
On Tuesday, December 22, our class will host the other three 6th grade classes. Our students will have researched how Christmas is celebrated in the countries they have been studying. If their countries are not Christian, they will research winter festivals and celebrations. They should find pictures or artifacts to help them explain the celebration. As students from the other classes file through, our students will stand at their desks and explain the customs, using pictures and artifacts. It would be highly effective, but not mandatory, if our students could wear something similar to the traditional dress of their countries.
We will host the other classes in the morning, and would like to hold a luncheon/social hour for the afternoon. We would love to have parents bring food in for the luncheon. We will need main dishes as well as vegetables, fruits, drinks and treats. Right now we're leaning towards Mexican food, but I'll keep you posted on that. Watch the blog for exact information. Because of state statutes, all food must be prepared in a state approved facility, so it cannot be prepared at home.
We are excited about the day, and welcome parents to come watch your children teach about their countries.

MYSTERY BOOK REPORT
MYSTERY BOOK REPORT
BOARD GAME (Due Friday, December 18)
The easiest way to create a board game is probably to get a piece of posterboard, and cut it up into game-board sized pieces (so that if you screw up the first one, you have another try). Then you draw a gameboard on it. I would do it first in light pencil, so that you can get it right, and then when you have it down, write over it with permanent marker. Use creativity to add graphics and text.
Now, it depends on your book... what book was it? What was the mystery about? Who were the characters? What was the suspense? Make it match what you read. Whatever way you draw the gameboard (there are a lot of different ways), you'll probably either have a track or a start-and-finish style. Make sure there are intermediate spaces, and write things about the book that happen along the way. If it is a good thing, say "go forward 3 spaces" (make sure the third space isn't something bad though), and if it is a bad thing, write "go backward 3 spaces" (as long as backward isn't a good thing). You don't have to have writing on every space though. Then make sure there is a rule for how the game ends... if you get to the finish square, that is cool... but if it is a track-like game, then you have to say it ends after you go around three times, or after you get a certain amount of points answering trivia questions (which will need to be typed on cards). Determine what you will use for playing pieces. Play it with someone to make sure that it works... change or add rules as necessary. When you have done all of the above, and you have tried it out with your family, you are ready to turn it in.
You will be judged on:
· Is it creative? (20)
· Is it original? (20)
· Is it beautifully done? (25)
· Does it match your book’s theme and plot? (25)
· Have you played it with your team and explained the story as you did? (25)

Dear parents,
With so much illness in the school, I thought you'd like an easy way to help your kids stay on top of their assignments. This is just an experiment, but if it works for you, I'd be happy to make the effort to keep it up. I plan to post our daily schedule, the math warm-up, the DOL and the Quick Write, as well as the activities we have planned for each day. Of course, things change during the day, so what the schedule says we do, may not be what we do exactly. Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Mrs. Cameron
